The difference in a collector who opens their books vs keeps them sealed

I noticed a guy at my local shop yesterday who had a stack of 90s X-Men issues he clearly just opened, while another collector was showing off a sealed copy of the same book. The opened copy had some wear from reading but the sealed one looked perfect, but the guy who opened it actually knew the story details and could talk about the art. Has anyone else seen a shift in how people enjoy comics between those who keep the bag on and those who actually crack it open?

Wait sealed comics from the 90s were still bagged though, not shrink wrapped like a toy.
